Hard Drive Format to about 50% then stops?
« on: June 23, 2005, 04:12:54 AM »
Ok, I hooked up a better power pack and all that. Yet when ever I goto format a drive that is over 400 Mb, it reaches a certain percent then the format window just vanishes.

What would cause this?

I'm on a 1200, and the drive is a 2.5 1.5Gb Toshiba, etc. Cables are fine, everything is fine, it just don't work. Does Amiga hate Toshiba?

Fast Format works fine. Just can't format normal.


Edit: I just chopped the drive up into a bunch of 250Mb partitions. Parition 1 formatted fine. Partition 2 gets to 56% then the screen vanishes.

ha ha, that's funny. Think I'll trash the thing and just save up for another. I'm burned out for the time being and think I need a brake from copmuters in general.

Thankx. ;)
